I don't think you need a 50" screen to really enjoy hi-def. I can certainly see the difference on my 40". Sin City looked amazing (and even the shittest sci-fi movies suddenly become watchable - just for the effects)

No, you don't need a 50 in screen to enjoy HD. I've got a 42 in and it looks great. But the difference between 720 and 1080, vis a vis progressive scanning is really only noticable on screens of larger size, like 50 inches and up. Unless you have a Pioneer Elite. Those things are sexy.

C Dub Ya, I already own an xbox 360 and a wii, but I see no reason to pick up a ps3 even though i have the money laying around. There aren't any original games besides Metal Gear that I'd be interested in playing. It seems like everything that was supposed to be ps3 exclusive comes out on 360 too.

Re: THE GAMING HARDWARE THREAD: PS3 - 360 - WII

Metal Gear Solid 4 is the ONLY reason I would buy a PS3.

yeah either you buy it for a few exclusive titles (R & C, Heavenly Sword, Resistance: Fall of Man, Motorstorm) and Blu Ray tech - or not at all right now.

BUT - same could be said for the really good exclusives for 360 though (Gears, Halos, Bioshock, PGR)... after those, you have a bigger library, that comes an equal amount of crap.

The PS3 price is right, but if you wait - it will be twice as nice

Drakes, R & C, and Metal Gear are definitely exclusive titles to get it for though, then you'll have Killzone 2 - which might be the killer game of next year.

Re: THE GAMING HARDWARE THREAD: PS3 - 360 - WII

right...I don't play Guitar Hero for the graphics....I don't even watch the animations on screen, I just follow the notes....graphics in those games aren't important. If it was tony hawk game on the other hand, then yeah, I want good graphics (which is why i never picked up the PS2 port of Project 8).....hopefully I'll get a PS3 by next spring....and then can pick up skate, gta4, and await the fall releases of the next guitar based games and tony hawk, madden, etc...

Re: THE GAMING HARDWARE THREAD: PS3 - 360 - WII

Sony's suicidal marketing of the PS3 - the real official reason for removing the backwards compatibilty really is to try and force sales of PS3 titles over their PS2 counterparts - makes me want to hate them... but... Oooh, Metal Gear and Killzone.

Re: THE GAMING HARDWARE THREAD: PS3 - 360 - WII

All I know is that I picked up WII Playground last night and it rocks. It might possibly be the best thing ever to come on a metallic disk. It’s like Halo and Sims, but instead of fighting or whatever you do in those games; you throw things at your friends. You can play Dodgeball, race Paper Airplanes and Slot Cars, shoot Freethrows, dribble for points, play some game called “Kick”, Teatherball of course, you can go Bug Catching (oh yea), and even have a Nerf Dartgun fight!!! You collect marbles, you get a stickerbook, you can high-five other kids on the playground, and any kid you beat can come back and dare and double dare you.
